The population of the study consists of family members who care for individuals receiving home health services in public hospitals in Antalya city center. G power test was used to determine the number of samples and the result of the analysis on the subject; Alpha value of 0.01 for independent sample t test at 95% confidence level; Taking an effect size of 1.35 and theoretical power of 99%, the minimum total sample size was determined as 58 people, 29 for each group. It was thought that it would be appropriate to take 30% more than the calculated minimum sample number due to possible losses that may occur during the research process, and as a result, it was decided to recruit 40 people for each group. In the study, the Participant Information Form developed by the researcher, the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) scale, the frailty (FRAIL) scale and the World Health Organization quality of life scale for elderly individuals will be applied to family caregivers.

This clinical trial is being conducted to see if brain stimulation and brain training together improves cognitive functioning and mood in older adults diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Brain stimulation will be done using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). Brain training will be done using immersive virtual reality cognitive training (iVCT) program. The goals of this clinical trail are as follows: - Examine if rTMS+iVCT intervention can improve and sustain objective cognitive functioning in individuals with MCI more than control or rTMS only groups - Examine if rTMS+iVCT intervention improves participants mental health symptoms, functional abilities, and quality of life more than control or rTMS only groups - Examine the impact of rTMS+iVCT intervention on caregiver burden. Eligible participants will be assigned to a standard treatment (no intervention control) group, rTMS only group of rTMS+iVCT group. All participants will undergo baseline assessment to evaluate their cognitive, emotional, and functional abilities. Those in the rTMS only group will receive rTMS treatments for five days per week for two weeks (total of ten sessions). Those in the rTMS+iVCT group will receive rTMS treatment followed by iVCT training for five days a week for two weeks (total of ten sessions). All participants will then repeat testing 2 weeks and three months after baseline testing to assess for possible treatment related changes and lasting effects.
